Love Flip but we really need a coach who coaches a 2015 game plan.

Biggest step we meed to take next season isnt even getting another big, it's hitting the three ball with far more regularity. We are not playing current era NBA ball. Fewer long two's more three's.

Adreian Payne having a solid game for you guys, I see. How does he look?

I've gotta say between Wiggins, your draft pick this year (Towns or Deangelo Russell-he can play next to Rubio imo-should be the pick :wink: ), and all your other talented young players, I'm a little jealous of what you guys have and how good you can be in a few years.

draft Towns, trade Shabaz/Dieng for the rights to WCS. I'm basing that on the assumption that Kentucky is a better defensive team than we are.

Russell or Hezonja would really help this team.

He has good instincts, needs to be refined tho. He seems to just want to throw it down on guys so thats good.

I dunno, Jordan has flushed like a half dozen alley oops on top of these guys' heads as they stand around looking like me when my alarm clock goes off at 6AM.

Payne has been one of the only bright spots in today's game. I would say it's been his best game yet as a pro, and he's been doing all the hustle work to get monster boards and jams - most against DeAndre Jordan himself. He seems ready and eager, and that's all I want. I want effort and hustle. I want to see progression over time, and we've already seen some nice stints from him in his short time in Minny. I think his long range shot is suspect, but he likes to shoot it and he has a Thaddeus Young like release (in other words, very slow).

I think we have to draft Big. We've seen the most success from Wiggins playing alongside Shabazz and that means Wiggins at the 2, and Bazz at the 3. I think Wiggins should be our future two, and for that reason, I think we have to draft a WCS / Towns / Okafor type.

The pessimist in me has seen way too many hopeful prospects to really get excited yet, but we've never collectively had this much talent on our team in terms of potential in the history of our franchise. Thanks, I'm jealous that LBJ calls Cleveland his home, and can turn around your franchise overnight.

The second half is just embarrassing. I do like what I saw from Payne this game though. Hopefully we'll be better next year with a top 4 pick and hopefully a new coach.

I don't know why Flip insists on playing Lavine only at PG, hence almost never playing with Ricky. The simple fact is, Lavine is NOT a PG. He has good handles, occasionally makes s flashy pass, but more often struggles to make the simples of passes and struggles mightily with decision making. I think it's bad for his confidence. Put him off the ball and let him use his speed and flying ability, draw up some backdoor lobs for him, etc. SMH

I know, LaVine is just embarrassing to watch at PG... dude has no idea what he's doing half the time.

Give Neal less minutes at the two, and play Brown more, it's really that simple
